CTM Festival: TodaysArt & Monom Studios present
Grand River, Stefanie Egedy & Monom Studio experiments
TodaysArt and Monom Studios are proud to present a fresh program to boost your Saturday, May 28th afternoon, during CTM Festival.
Featuring the artist and composer Aimée Portioli Foley, aka Grand River, who will perform her intimate composition »Tuning the Wind« live, spatialised and mixed in 4DSOUND. Nature and music have become one; there is no distinction between a synthesizer and an element of nature, between a sound wave and a gust of wind. In the last two years, many more people have reconnected with nature and have embraced it as a place of respite from an unceasingly self-mechanizing global landscape. In attempting a representation of the wind in human form, »Tuning The Wind« expresses our relationship, experience, and dialogue with the natural environment.
Ahead of the concert and early in the day, Stefanie Egedy will enchant Monom's bar with a low-frequency Sub-Bass Invigorating dose, exploring the potential contained in sound waves and subwoofers to invigorate the nervous system and the body.
During the day, Monom Studios will premiere an interactive experiment, a portal into an alternate perspective. »Human / Nature / Machine« was originally conceived by William Russell as a live performance using the piano as an instrument to control the dynamics of natural phenomena. A duet between human and nature, this symphonic exploration now takes shape as an immersive installation mixed together through the 4DSOUND system. For this special edition of the project, the audience will be invited to interact with various materials and objects, connecting their bodies to the 4DSOUND machine. Expect special musical guests over the course of the day, who will infuse the environment with melody, harmony, and rhythm.

Stefanie Egedy (b. São Paulo) is a sound worker that operates as an artist, whose practice evolves around sound. Her motto is sub-bass, bass sounds, subwoofers, and their capacity to reveal themselves as present in a space. Exploring human and architectural bodies, the interactions and potential for new creations are of greatest interest. Besieged by this scenario, Stefanie articulates the cross-over between sonorous and musical language to investigate communication between beings. Egedy works with field recordings, electronic and daily materials sounds. She runs the label COISAS QUE MATAM (THINGS THAT KILL), researches the relations between light and sound with Camille Laurent, and is the Head Of Operations and Artist Development Producer at Monom, Berlin's Center for Spatial Sound. http://stefanieegedy.com/
William Russell is an Australian-born spatial sound designer & artist, classical percussionist, creative director, and co-founder of Monom Berlin, a spatial sound studio and exhibition space. Since opening Dec 1, 2017, at the historic Funkhaus Berlin, William has worked together with artists to produce and present over 50 new spatial sound works by a diverse range of local and international talent working across genres and disciplines, from music, to dance, to opera and theater and recently VR and AR. Russell's focus as an artist himself is on recreating the sonic dynamics of climate phenomena and combining this with music to stimulate empathetic awareness of one's surroundings and illuminate the link between humans and nature.
